Hidden not working

    Hello —

    Do “hidden” fields work on pdb_record pages other than the Signup page?

    I have a group that I want users to edit by itself on its own page. The group has a hidden field that I want to use to capture the date/time the page was edited. I set the default value to SERVER:REQUEST_TIME.

    I use [pdb_record groups=”the_group_name”] to display the group. The hidden field is displayed, with ‘SERVER:REQUEST_TIME’ in the input field.

    I have two hidden fields on the signup form, and they are hidden, and they get the dynamic values I assign as defaults. But when I display their groups on a profile edit page, using [pdb_record groups=”…”], they are displayed with their correct values. They are not editable.

    Does “hidden” only work on the Signup form?
    thanks

    Yes, in the current version of the plugin, that is true, dynamic hidden fields only work in the signup form. There is an internal timestamp that is set whenever a user updates their record, it’s called “last_accessed” so that may be useful to you.

    OK, thanks.

    Does that mean that dynamic default values in hidden fields also only work on the signup form? Which is what I’ve observed, but just want to confirm.

    Yes, that’s correct.
